Metglas® Brazing Foil Outperforms Alternative Filler Metals
What Is Amorphous Foil? Amorphous materials do not have long-range crystalline structure like typical steels, stainless steels and other alloys. The amorphous structure offers several advantages, such as greatly increased solid solubility allowing for a wider range of possible alloy combinations of Nickel, Chromium, Iron, Boron, Silicon, Molybdenum and
Phosphorus as in the nickel based brazing family of alloys. Further, the amorphous structure delivers very uniform distribution of alloying elements, thus they melt over a very narrow temperature range as the alloying elements do not require long diffusion paths as with multi-phase polycrystalline materials.
How Is Amorphous Foil Made? Metglas® Brazing Foils (MBFs) are produced by rapidly quenching molten metal at rates of over 1,000,000°C per second. This process creates very uniform, ductile and homogeneous brazing foils that can be used to create consistent, void-free and optimum strength joints. Environmentally-friendly MBFs also allow you to
Melting Furnace
reduce your operating costs by reducing waste, improving yield, improving furnace performance and by easily lending themselves to automation. The ductility of Amorphous Brazing Foil allows the manufacture of precise preform shapes via stamping techniques or photo-etching.
